may result in some disturbance.
Boulanger, upon returning from the
Ministry of War, issued an order of the
day thanking those who co-operated
with him to place the cOuntry's defenses
in condition to stand any test and many
officers of army who have shown their
devotion to their professional duties and
fidelity to the constitution and laws. In

among you to give an example of both
military and republican discipline.
Gen. Ferdon, upon assuming the du-
ties of the War Office, also issued an or
der of the day in which he says: Il
count upon the absolute devotion of all.
and am confident that the various arms
of the service will continue to resolutely
round us continue to increase in military
training, and for us to remain stationary

seriously imperil the country's interests.
Like my predecessors, L shall unremit-

form, and shall devote my whole time
to increasing the defensive forces of
France and the Republic"
The moderate Republican papers cor
daily welcome the new ministry: the
ably, but the radical and Independent
papers are decidedly hostile. The
GdulOis says that the demonstrations i'm
favor of Boulanger are threatened in
the Chamber of Deputies, and at a mill
tary fete at opera house, tonight, about
300 youths gathered outside the Cham
ber of Deputies, this afternoon, and
Joined in the cry of rire la Boulanger.
The police dispersed them.
Rouvier read his statement i'm Cham
Der of Deputies, this afternoon. He also
said that his foreign policy would lie
firm and prudent. Preparations for the
exhibition in 1899 would be actively for
warded. He was frequently applauded
by members of the Center, and was Of
ten interrupted by members of the Left.
The Radical Left intimated that they
would interpellate the Government on
the question touching its policy, and
would demand urgency. ROuvier agreed.
Julien, thereupOn, made a speech in
which he requested the Government
to define its programme. ROuvier re-
piled that the ministry would firmly ap-
ply existing legislation on education In
regard to economy in public expendi-
lures, they proposed to retrench sixty
million francs. Referring to the politi-
cal color of the cabinet, the Premier
said: I'VE do not reflect especially the
views of anybody" A voice-"You are
Terrys double" followed by applause
from the left. Rouvier concluded by de-
claring, amid loud propests from the
left, that the cabinet relied upon the
support of the Republican majority an
swering the question put subsequently,,
ROuvier said the Government intended
that all citizens, even seminarists
should be subjected to the obligations of
military service. Applause by the Cen
tre.l
MiIleraud, of the Extreme Left, denied
that the Cabinet had the support of the
Republican majority. Rouvier protest
ed against the Republican excommuni-
cation, of which he vas the object. He
did not consider himself condemned to
powerlessness, merely because the Ex-
treme Left refused to cooperate
with him. He would lay down the
reins of government if he failed to obtain
the assistance of the Republican ma
jority. Applause by the Centre.
Millerand then moved a resolution of
want of confidence in the Government.
1t was rejected by a vote of 2S5 to 139.
Rouv Ter then demanded the order of the
day, and his motion therefor was car
ried by a vote of 1884 to 156, amid enthu-
siastic cheers by the Centre
Gen. Feron promised that he would
frankly state his opinion of the
new military bill when that meas
ure came up for discussion. He
said 1t had been decided to advocate
three years service, which should be the
same for all. No distinction would be
made in the case of seminarists, lay
teachers or others. He deplored an in
sufficiency of the peace effective, and
urged the necessity of increasing the
strength of each company by reducing
the number of companies.
Rouvier declined to answer whether
he intended to effect conversion of the
debt. The Chamber then adjourned un-
til Thursday.
Boulanger this morning bade farewell
to the official IN the War Department
